It has been rainy today-all day. It's definitely one of those days when you just want to hide under the covers in your pajamas-which I have actually had the luxury of doing. I have been putting off taking a shower for hours and now I am thinking about making dinner and getting ready to watch American Idol. Ike and Joni are sleeping peacefully beside me and it is just nice to sit around in a quite house and just relax.

Tomorrow I will be 30wks along in my pregnancy. The closer it gets the more nervous I become about the labor and delivery. I keep telling myself that women all over the world give birth to babies every single day and that I can totally handle it, but it doesn't really make me any less nervous. Plus, I made the mistake of watching a couple episodes of the Baby Story on TLC and that REALLY made me nervous. Even after all the stories I have heard and all the stuff I have seen on TV I really have no idea what to expect. All I know for sure is that it is going to hurt during labor and after and that I should just be prepared to ask for a lot of drugs.


There have been no more developments with Ike's job for the time being and things have pretty much just settled back down to normal. I think that in a way he thinks that he missed out-even though his boss has tried to reassure him. Ike is starting to get to the point where if something doesn't happen soon then he may begin looking for another job. I don't want to try to sway his decision in any way, but I sometimes think that it may be good for him to just get back out there and see if there is something else he could do for awhile. I think a change of pace would be nice for him. Unfortunately I think he has just found himself in a nice, comfortable position that he is not willing to give up quickly.

As for now,with the Plemon's family, Christmas has come and gone and we have both started to greatly anticipate the arrival of our new baby. I think this little baby will change our lives in more ways than we can even imagine at this point. Life is crazy, but I am thankful for the little life that my husband and I share. Each day is a new adventure with new lessons learned and more memories to be tucked away.
